Change your study load

You can change how long it takes to complete your course by altering your study load.

If you increase your study load you can finish your course in a shorter time frame. Decreasing your study load will extend the time it takes to complete your course.

Increasing your study load

A full-time study load is usually four units (40 credit points) per semester, or eight units (80 credit points) per year. If you wish to enrol in more than a full-time study load, you can consult with your Course Coordinator. Your previous academic record will be taken into account when determining your application.

Decreasing your study load

A part-time study load is usually two units (20 credit points) per semester, or four units (40 credit points) per year. If you wish to decrease your study load from full-time to part-time, you just need to enrol in fewer units per semester. For example, if you're a full-time student and you want to decrease your study load, you can enrol in two units per semester instead of four.
